Treatment and study plan

superficial cervical plexus block guided by ultrasound with bupivacaine

Procedure

in active group we will use bupivacaine in superficial cervical plexus block to deal with pain postoperative neck surgeries

Paracetamol (500 mg) tablets

Drug

controlled group will take shame block with normal saline and paracetamol only

Primary outcomes

  1. Analgesic effect of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block in postoperative neck surgeries

    Time frame: within the first 24 hours postoperatively

    To assess the analgesic efficacy of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block on postoperative pain following neck surgery, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain) at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total opioid consumption

    Time frame: within the first 24 hours postoperatively

    To assess the total opioid consumption within the first 24 hours postoperatively and the time to first analgesic request.

Other outcomes

  1. Nausea and vomiting

    Time frame: 24 hours postoperative

    incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

  2. patients satisfaction score

    Time frame: at 24 hours postoperatively

    To assess patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very dissatisfied, 5 = very satisfied).
